Does anyone know how I can get hold of any information of St Olaves Workhouse registers? I suspect my Driscoll's were part of this. Some births were also recorded at Horsleydown which I think is attached to St Olaves?

Census 1991 - Looking to track this boy Thomas, aged 11. I think sister, Mary Ann married John Lowden Smith. Father Thomas died in 1894, not sure what happened to Susan, or Suzanne as she often is recorded as.

Susan Driscoll did marry William Dowsett and end up living in the same house as her Driscoll in laws, and sister and law were in 1901 census, 8 Elephant Lane.
She and Thomas seem to have had another child in 1992, Susan. I think Susan jun may have married a Harrison......but still finding out.
Keen to hunt Thomas b 1880 and think he remained in Rotherhithe.
